From: "Andreas Heldal-Lund - www.xenu.net"
Subject: XENU.NET SITE SHUT DOWN
To the Interliant technical and legal departments
You shut off my website www.xenu.net on a very short notice,
without previously having canceled my hosting contract in a
contractually correct manner and with the appropriate notice
time, or for contractually founded reasons. You also repeatedly
refused to reply to my letters. As a result, my website was
down for over two days and other people had to take emergency
measures to arrange alternative hosting, while I was caught in
my sleep by your actions while on a weekend vacation.
This is terribly annoying already as it is. Additionally, I
find now that I have lost FTP access to my website, and can
thus not retrieve my own files from your servers. The cult
of Scientology must have managed to scare Interliant a lot
for you to take such measures against a paying customer.
In this context I would like to point out that I have been
running a cgi-based webboard on my account which was
constantly updated with new postings by its users. Thus, all
arguments that refer to backups are not applicable and you
have effectively hijacked my website and my files.
I hereby demand immediate FTP access to the website, so that
I can retrieve my files. Please confirm to me that I can do
so, or be prepared to face legal action against you. A press
kit is currently being prepared and will be distributed widely
if this is not sorted out quickly.
